Committee Goals

Committee Work-circa 2010

• Break down of silos (DJJ, CBC, Courts, School, ect.)
• Early identification and notification
• Increase communication and collaboration
• Avoid duplication of services
• Streamline court process/hearings
• Ensure prevention/earlier intervention
• Increase youth and family engagement

• Defined a "crossover"case
• "A crossover case is defined as a child involved in the delinquency system as well as the dependency system"

** this does not include cases that have been direct filed into the Adult system

• Developed Identification Points as youth cross both systems

• Created an Administrative Order (B3) and written procedures for information sharing- MOU (B4)
